About
Dragon’s Crown is a 2D fantasy arcade-action RPG video game, developed by Vanillaware and published by Atlus for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. Due to it’s unique artstyle, the game has become very popular in 4chan’s /v/ (Video Games) board.
Controversy
Dragon’s Crown has been a subject of multiple controversies and discussions surrounding its artstyle and over-sexualization of female characters, primarily the Sorceress and, to a lesser degree, the Amazon.
In April 12th 2013, Jason Schreier of Kotaku wrote a post[5] about the game’s Sorceress. Due to her appearance, the character was described as “designed by a 14-year-old boy”.
In April 23rd, Dragon’s Crown artist George Kamitani wrote a Facebook post to Jason, featuring three happy naked bearded men, saying that if he (Schreier) wasn’t pleased with the appearance of neither the Sorceress, nor the Amazon, the art of the direction he likes was prepared.
Schreier responded[6] to the post, interpreting it as a homophobic jab at him, though it was a light-hearted joke about him not liking the artstyle of game’s women. Scheier later apologized his rashness and apologized for calling Kamitani a 14 year old.
